Emilie autumn 20169/2/2023 S] We saw a few suggestions like that for tea on your official forum…ĮA] Yes! Tea-tails! If the fans have been to a show, they know about the mixing of tea and alcohol – it’s not even mixed, we have the pot of tea that we pour on the audience and then the one that we drink onstage, and I think some people still hold out the illusion that there’s actually tea in those… It was never something that I decreed it was Captain Maggot’s job to make the tea backstage every night before we go on, and her deal is to take everything, whatever beverages she finds – I don’t ask questions – and to mix them together in such a way that creates a unique and fantastic cocktail for us every night.

I didn’t kill anybody or anything - it’s not as bad as that. There are some parts that may be disturbing or controversial, but that’s okay…it needed to be done. It’s not going to be easy - there’s probably going to be a lot of people who are going to like me less after it comes out, but that’s fine, it’ll be the truth. It’s been quite a torturous process, but, at the same time, I had it in my head that it had to be done and the story told, so I really feel like the day that it comes out is going to be the first day of my life and everything up ‘til then is just the dress rehearsal.

S] Have you had fun writing the book or has it been a lot of hard work?ĮA] Oh god… Well, it’s been finished for quite some time now, but there have been all these issues that have delayed the publishing of it, which is always…nice! But, you know, nothing worth doing is supposed to be easy. S] Hello, how are things in the Asylum today?ĮA] Things are great! I was actually doing the final proof-read of my book today! We recently heard that there’s been a lot of change in Emilie Autumn’s Asylum for Wayward Victorian Girls, so we gave her a call to find out what she’s been up to, whether she should take up a career in muffin-baking and what’s been happening with her forthcoming book…
